What exactly does EyeForAll do?
EyeForAll works closely with doctors in India to provide eye care for Indians in need. India not only has millions suffering from visual impairment but also has millions in poverty. According to CNN and The World Bank, as of 2017, over 60 percent of India’s population lives on under 3.10 dollars a day. Those who suffer from eye disease in rural India may struggle to find affordable and readily available care, but they deserve care, regardless of their financial situation.
We have worked with doctors such as Dr. PJP Srinivas, an ophthalmologist in Vijayawada, India, to carry out free eye surgeries. We have conducted endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomies, cataract removal surgeries, intra-ocular lens implants, and more. These surgeries allow us to save the vision of individuals who are unable to pay for these operations on their own. Some of the recipients of these free procedures are pictured.
